Same problem here. I had a restore point before the 9.4.5 update, so I rolled the system back, then I turned off the auto update. I wish Adobe would fix the bugs without creating more. Maybe they just want to force people to upgrade to Acrobat X.

confirmed this bug is still in effect. I do multiple selects many times a day so this bug is not huge in terms of fuctionality but a big break on working speed. There is no work around i have found, you just have to right click and them type in page numbers to select multiple pages.

It is more of a problem when i need to rearrange pages and have to do it one page at a time.

This report sealed my decision NOT to apply the 9.4.5 update. I had tried before after a loused-up windows update fiasco. When I tried to start Acrobat 9 Pro after applying the update, I got an error message that said Acrobat was unusable. I had to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro from the CD and apply all the updates in sequence. Talk about an ugly scenario!! Yuck!!!

I am not going to spend one more red cent on Acrobat and reward Adobe for their lack of effective testing. As a long time Acrobat user and a former tester of software, it seems they do not do a good enough job regression testing their fixes to see if what they fix does not affect other parts of their product. I wonder how many other bugs are waiting for me if I upgrade to Acrobat X.

I really wonder if Adobe knows that there are a few good alternatives to Acrobat out there. And I do not want to discuss which ones are best.

What's worse, is that when trying to schedule a Support Call with them, I GET DISCONNECTED EVERY TIME they transfer me. This has happened 3/3 times so far. Not even sure Adobe is even aware of the situation yet

I have tried to repair and it didn't work. Since you can't select multiple pages, the print "selected pages" option is also gone. Just as I go to print multiple books. Will take me a lot longer without ability to select multiple pages. big bummer.

I reported the bug yesterday and received the following response from Adobe:

" Thank you for taking the time to notify us of this unexpected behavior after updating to Acrobat 9.4.5. This has been identified as a bug by our Engineering team. They are hard a work adding a fix to be included in the next update. There is no time frame for this patch to be released.

In the meantime if you are trying to manipulate contiguous pages you can drag the blue box around the pages and perform any action on the pages within the blue selection area. Of course this will not help to choose pages that are not nearby to each other. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have this issue resolved in the future."

If the updates aren't till September, that's going to be pretty bad as this is an important feature for our Firm. I've already had to un-install and re-install to 9.0 for multiple users. NOT FUN!!

Good luck trying to escalate this problem. Seems like Adobe doesn't fix bugs reported by users any more. Over a year I reported the thumbnail runoff problem (bottom thumbnails missing in thumbnail view), was promised a fix, then no action. I even re-reported the bug, was promised a fix with the next release, then nothing. Other than the agent wasting my time apologizing for the inconvenience, I have seen no action on that problem. My best advice, roll back your systems to 9.4.4 and disable automatic update.

Acrobat 9 is still supported by Adobe, and the problem discussed in this thread was caused by an Adobe patch. No one is going to purchase dozens or hundreds of Acrobat X licenses because an Adobe patch broke functionality in Acrobat 9.

The same problem exists on my Win 7 x64 machine. I will report the bug as suggested and fully expect Adobe to fix this. Breaking a program to 'entice' people to buy a new version is not just morally wrong, it may also be illegal...
